MATTERS PUGILISTIC.
Sullivan Arrived in Minneapolis
Yesterday.
The Flour City Pugilist Only VANS
Champions for His Food.

Patsy Cardiff is reaping some of the
| benefits of the recent notoriety he has
gained throughout the country by hissmeat-
ing with Sullivan. Dominick McCaffrey
and Frank Glover now want to meet him,
and are fairly frothing with impatience il
appears because he has not accepted their
| challenges. Cardiff has appointed his busi-
ness partner, John Donaldson, his manager
and agrees to only make such matches as
the latter approves of. That long-headed
individual remarks:
Yes. they want to get at Cardiff now but
before they wouldn't look at him. Now he
has the ledge" on them all. l don't think
there is any use OF bringing these people
| here. l don't suppose either would draw
| LOCO people to the Washington rink. Another
thing, we don't care 10 overwork the town.
we would like to make matches with men the
people here want to- see. We hope to get
another match with Sullivan when his arm is
strong, and to bring Jem Smith, the English
champion, to Minneapolis. Cardiff Travelled a
season with McCad'rey and knows just what
he is. Glover is man who fought three
draws with Bradburn, whom Cardiff did up
| in three rounds. Any one who saw Bradburn
with Killen at st. Paul can figure what Glover
amounts to-.
Sullivan and his combination arrived
here to-day from CrookSton and disbanded.
Perhaps another match will be made with
Cardiff. The champion expects to go to
Boston, intending to have his arm receive
the attention of surgeon in whom he has
confidence.
Sullivan's former wife, who draws 500
mouth alimony, is quoted as saying that
he did not break his arm, which was SIM
ply invented as an excuse to save him from
beating; further, that John once said to
her that Mitchell could have done him up
had he stayed round longer. AS Mrs. S.
was in Centerville. +. l., at the time of
the Cardiff meeting. it is not likely that
her opinion as to whether her former con-
sorts arm was broken or not is particularly
valuable. As to the Mitchell fight, it will
be remembered that it was the general
opinion of the New York press that the in
reference of Capt. Williams not only saved
Mitchell terrible pounding, but perhaps
his life.
Killen is at Chicago now and is ex-
tremely anxious to get at Sullivan. He
certainly weakened when there was a pros
pect of a meeting in Minnesota After
signing contract that he should get in
good condition and fight no one else he;de
Iiberately broke it and 1ailad to come to
time. Sheedy offered to give him six
round match with per cent. for; each
round he stayed, or 25 per cent. on the
whole or nothing, but Killen kept away.
Few will believe he is in earnest now.

Jerry Murphy is disappointed in not get
ting match with either Weber or Need
ham for the lightweight championship,
his offer to make match for $500 side,
with IS per cent. of the receipts to the Will
ner and 25 to the loser not having been ac
cepted. Jerry has been in training for
some time, and is in splendid condition to
sustain his claims to the championship

Some one should take Harris, the Black
Pearl. in hand and teach him how to use
his right. He understands how to stay
well enough, and seems to be able to with
stand any amount of punishment.

An effort is being made to secure a ten
round set-to between McHenry johnson
and Billy Wilson for Minneapolis, probably
at the Comique.
Fred King called at the Chicago Sporting
Journal office last week and stated that he
would like to match Harry Woodson, the
BLACK Diamond" against Billy Wilson,
of st. Paul, in an eight round contest for
any amount between $3.50 and 81, 900. If
Wilson does not want to fight for stake,
WoodSon will fight for the gate receipts,
divided as may be mutually agreed upon.
He desires the match to occur in st. Paul.
and says that if Wilson will send deposit
to the Sporting Journal it will be covered
